Pretty simple request, give us an extra stick for the 4x4. I loved the manual 4x4 on my dads old 88. Push button is nice, but it's not the same!

Next you will want some manual locking mile marker front hubs. My 1993 XLT has the auto locking hubs, electronic transfer case, and a electronic automatic transmission E4OD. The hubs and transfer case have broken and the E4OD is just about gone. The 1996 has a manual transfer, manual locking hubs, and a standard transmission … all of which still work flawlessly.

If consumers where worried about longevity and reliability we wouldn't have 19 different trim levels on a new Bronco …. and a web site devoted to a first year production run that isn't even on the road yet.

By that logic, why even have a manual transmission?

I would go for this also, love the old school! I can picture it now, BaseManSquatch with standard lever engaged transfer case. I would buy it! :p

Twin stick, manual transmission and a thumb throttle in the YJ. It’s actually running the T18 from my first Bronco!

Nice set up! I had the T-18 with the straight 6 in my first Bronc and still miss it. Solid combo!

That’s exactly what I had too! It was a fantastic setup.

All that electronic junk costs money and is another risk of failure. A freind of mine got stuck in my driveway one winter because the electric hubs in his Exploder wouldn't engage.
